Wichita... are you ready?
I imagine by now those of you who are coming have jumped on the people train that runs out of Stubbville, and are on your way to Greenville for the game tomorrow.

We have managed to be a pain in the arse for a few of our more prestigious conference mates in past years, effectively dooming their seasons. (Had to throw NC State in there... because, F em.)

'07-'08: NC State
'10-'11: Memphis
'14-'15: Cincinnati, Memphis
'15-'16: Temple, @ Memphis
'16-'17: UCONN, Temple, Tulsa
'17-'18: Wichita State?

Sure our head coach quit mid-season, our roster has been decimated due to transfers, injuries, and suspensions, and we are playing a top 10 team that'll likely be favored by 30+.

I can see it now... postgame...

Is our current team really getting lumped into a category with last year's Temple, UCONN, and Tulsa? Might as well use your home win over Grambling State as evidence that we're going down.

Pretty sure he was just referring to conf upsets but either way it's a sad list. We did beat Dwayne Wade and top 10 Marquette back to back years, those were probably the best upsets.

ECU bball is horrible but a packed Minges usually wills the team to 1 or 2 every year, highly doubt tomorrow will be the night. This team is REALLY bad.

What is the expected attendance for tomorrow? Looks like you're normally getting around 3k, I figure a top 5 team would give it a boost. The size of the boost depending on the current level of apathy within the fan base.

Gregg might bring a few hundred fans himself with the game being in the Carolinas. Might be a bit tough with the 9 PM weekday game time though.

With an RPI of 320 and a kenPom of 315, it's actually kindof difficult to underestimate ECU.

I would say 5K max, probably lower. There's always been apathy to this program, we get 50K in a stadium to watch the football team but can't get 8K in Minges to watch a bball game. But the interest level and frustration level is at an all time high right now, even less people care than normal.

It looked like this the 1st time UCONN ever came here a few years ago.

Also pretty sure it was a sellout the time Wake Forest came to town when they were in the Top 10.

I think attendance will be good.

I'm surprised that seats 8k. Looks very cozy.

Fun fact: ECU is the worst team in the American according to KenPom. They would also be the worst team in the other P6 conferences. They would also be the worst team in the Big East, MWC, MVC, A10, WCC, Summit, CUSA, CAA, Sun Belt, MAC, and the Ivy League.

At this point it's not a question of whether we'll cover that 30 point line or not. It's a question of whether we hit the century mark before or after the Great Dane comes in for mop-up.

But we beat USF in Tampa! 04-cheers So, maybe not the worst in the AAC.

I'm 2 fer 3 in Shocker "mop-up crew" sightings at the 10 minute mark of the 2nd half so far this year in conference games. Original prediction was 33%.

Your KenPoms are very close. It will come down to the final game.
